Can I name DC3 DC2's middle name??!

So we're having a third baby, still early days but thinking of names whilst its still fun! The only girls name I really love and goes well with the other names is DC2's middle name. I know this is a bit weird but is it passable or really bad?Thanks!

No. Choose another name, kids are quite sensitive to things like this. If both had the same middle name then fine, my dh & bil have my pils first name astheir middle name. It would look odd and not very creative to do what you are suggesting.

Well it's strange, but I don't see why not. 99% of the people who meet either of them will have no idea anyway, and the other 1% will get over it. No-one actually needs to use their middle name so I don't see what difference it makes really.

Nothing weird about it at all. Not sure why people think there is!Middle names only get used when filling out forms and when kids at secondary school try to find out who has the most humourous middle name. Assuming the name you're thinking of isn't an embarrassing name then there's no issue.

The only time you use your middle name a lot is when you are about 8/10 and do all sorts of experiments with spelling it backwards, practising signatures and stuff like that. Just the time when you're likely to be upset about discovering that your name is the same as your sister's.

Can't believe all the negative responses here! I can't see anything wrong with it at all (I'm not an only child or a PFB and I have 3 DCs of my own). I like Unique's spin on it!

I suppose as a 2nd DD she will get used to having hand-me-downs, so the name will be just one in a long line of things she'll get after her sister has already had it for a while, but no-one really uses middle names so it won't be an issue for anyone but you.

It would be worse to use DD1's first name as a middle name than vice versa IMHO.
